Human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and destroying rainforests, have an increasing influence on the climate and the Earth's temperature . This adds huge quantities of greenhouse gases to those naturally present in the atmosphere, increasing the greenhouse effect and global warming. Everyone can help limit climate change.
